CARM is a 501(c)3, non-profit, Christian ministry dedicated to the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ and the promotion and defense of the Christian Gospel, Doctrine, and Theology. CARM analyzes religions such as Islam, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormonism, Roman Catholicism, Universalism, Wicca, etc., and compares them to the Bible. We also analyze secular ideas such as abortion, atheism, evolution, and relativism. In all our analyses we use logic and evidence to defend Christianity and promote the truth of the Bible which is the inspired word of God.

DITC e-NewsletterVolume 33, Issue 6

Dear All,

It's a new world we are living in. But is it for the better? The indications are that we are living in a world that is on the brink of almost total apostasy with churches that are following the world instead of influencing it with the Gospel. The beliefs of Christianity are under attack as never before in the history of the Church.

Living in an age of lies

by Mike Oppenheimer, 5/10/11

We are in the time of lying, in both politics and religion. The lie is told so easily and boldly and the truth is told so weakly and inefficiently. We have been fed lies portion by portion, piece by piece for so long that the lie has become as the truth. And no one wants to believe lies have encompassed the way the church conducts her practices.

Love Wins, A Book About Heaven, Hell, and the Fate of Every Person Who Ever Lived

by Rob BellReviewed by Pastor Larry DeBruyn

In "Love Wins", Rob Bell talks about a "better story," presumably the one he, in an imaginative way, has created. But of his story, readers must ask the question: Is it just another story, a self-styled narrative parading as a metanarrative? In light of the very serious and eternal issues the book raise, the question needs to be answered by every reader.

by Berit Kjos - 2000(shortened in 2011) With church and education leaders paving the way, that "attitude of acceptance" is fast becoming the norm both in churches and communities. To the general public, politically correct spirituality and world government seem normal and necessary. Even in churches uniformity based on compromise has become more acceptable than Biblical unity based on the cross. Those who resist the new ideology are painted as enemies to peace and progress. Jesus' warned us this would happen: "I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.... If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you.... because they do not know Him who sent Me." John 15:20-21 Many churches today ignore those verses. They seem so obsolete and irrelevant. But reality tells us that -- in the years ahead -- those who resist "common ground" will face increasing pressures to keep silent or to compromise. History is repeating itself, and our models may be the forgotten pilgrims who fled to America three centuries ago. Like many faithful Christians today, they longed for freedom to follow the uncompromising truth that is no longer tolerated by religious leaders and a secular/pluralistic culture.
